Re: [Hunspell-devel] Hunspell dictionaries for Indian Languages

[anish p. <ani...@gm...>]

Hi Caolán !!

I am working on improving spell checking, i had written a blog about the
same
http://anish-patil.blogspot.in/2014/01/hunspell-dictionaries.html

I have created a web interface to modify/edit wordlists http://webwordedit-
wwe.rhcloud.com/ which we could improve if people like the idea.
Currently some wordlists are hosted on sf.net and others have different
locations that makes really difficult in terms of maintenance and bug
reporting.
There is also bug regarding moving it onto git, http://sourceforge.net/p/
hunspell/bugs/230/
I would like to c-maintain this project so that we can have good wordlists

Thanks,
Anish P.
